P365 - 2016 - Day 18 - Thirteen
We officially have teenagers in the house - two of them. The Bear and The Princess turned 13 today. We started the day with french toast for the kids then off to a soccer tournament for The Princess followed by dinner out and ended with ice cream cake and gifts. Through it all I was running the events of 13 years ago through my head over and over. I also had a film in my head playing on loop of all of the birthdays before this one... all of the photos of the these two entering a new age together. Thirteen birthdays. Thirteen years. It was a minute ago that they were three....but that was a DECADE ago! I am grasping on tightly with both hands as I realize more and more that time is a thief. But as I hold on tightly, I am watching in awe as these two grow into amazing people - a handsome, athletic, smart, kind, funny, and driven young man and a beautiful, athletic, smart, kind, funny, and determined young lady. I am proud of them always and wish them both the happiest of birthdays in a lifetime of many happy days.... xoxo Love you two to the moon and back.
